Biography

My areas of interest are two: interstellar medium and  extra-solar planets. In fact, the dust mass budget in galaxies is still facing a severe problem, which is simply summarized in the observation that dust destruction mechanisms are much more efficient than dust production ones. Supernova remnants are now recognized as an important contributor of dust, however measuring their yield has proven problematic due to modeling uncertainties.

I propose to use high resolution observations for a better understanding of this subject. My second research area and passion and as a scientific member of the JWST,  NASA/ ESA satellite, will be launched on Oct. 2018. I work on detecting, confirming and characterizing extra-solar planets.
